Prigorodny District, Republic of North Ossetia-Alania

Prigorodny District, Republic of North Ossetia-Alania

Prigorodny District ( _ru. При́городный райо́н) is one of the eight districts of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, Russia. It is located along the eastern border of the republic.

Unlike the rest of the republic where Ossetians account for the majority of the population, the district has a significant Ingush population.Fact|date=September 2008 The district in its eastern part is considered a troublesome zone of the republic due to the high tensions between the Ingush and Ossetians.

The eastern part of Prigorodny District used to be a part of Ingushetia (which was a part of Chechen-Ingush ASSR at that time), but it was transferred to North Ossetia in 1944 after the dissolution of the Ingush autonomous territory, when Stalin accused the Ingush of collaborating with the Nazis and deported the entire population to Central Asia. This led to the present-day tensions, which started after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
